Amazon and FB are not in consideration, despite their recruiters aggressively trying.

- Turning down FANG recruiters Too many recruiter contacts, multiple ones from Facebook , Google,and Microsoft...... I eventually want to go to those companies, but tbh the recruiter call is the easiest part: putting in the 6+ weeks to leetcode is a stress inducing task that honestly I don't want to do right now. I'd rather
